(The Wachowskis, Joss Whedon, and Josh Trank sit down at the poker table.

Still, it had one of the all-time great character names in Mayor Maynot.

This one infuriates me to no end.

No, you're not better than this…but by saying you are, I'm hoping to trigger a desire to be your aspirational self, rather than the self that gives you permission to wallow in your own crapulence.

The last broken whisper of prank-call bravado in Ken Marino's "Why don't you go fuck a soup?" has my vote for best line delivery of 2015.

I'm pretty sure it was another A.V. Club thread some years ago that spilled the beans about the outrageous riders on arena-filling music acts contracts. They actually serve a purpose beyond maintaining the massive egos of their performers.

They've certainly done an excellent job of taking dead aim at the demographic that includes me and my friends and consistently firing off shows that we're at least willing to give a chance, then making them easy to watch with DVR-friendly repeat schedules, On Demand offerings, and quick turnaround to streaming

Yes you can, and you would spell it M.O.D.O.K.

As far as Best Bullets Dodged in Film History, I'd probably put that one slightly below Raiders of the Lost Ark.

If you'd poured a little baking soda on her she might have mellowed out.

Since apparently the secret rule is "don't say AC/DC"…Rose Tattoo!

She's inexplicably not in the climactic scene where Ant-Dad and Step-Dad team up to stop the bad guy from threatening her daughter, though. And Step-Dad was out on patrol, so it's not like she was out working her night job clerking at Target.

A very funny show with some pretty great songs and some funny guest stars you'll recognize from moving on to bigger things. I recommend it unreservedly.

When I lived in Texas, Whataburger was the default option, but eventually I grew to appreciate the offerings at Jack-in-the-Box more.

Entirely appropriate. The fries at Steak 'n Shake are garbage.

Oh, and Flight of the Conchords, which got two seasons on HBO. Whether or not it was a cartoon is debatable.

The Monkees is the only one I can think of, and it was barely about their career as musicians. It got two seasons (which in those days translates to 58 episodes, enough for five FX seasons) and also had much better music.

To be fair, how exactly do you advertise a show that subverts sitcom expectations in 20 seconds or less? Show your work.

The rabbit's easy: he's a sex-obsessed womanizer, and it was obvious from the moment he showed up that he was going to make a move on Princess Carolyn. So a rabbit is perfect.

Close enough for government work!
